Pokemon Go Lugia Raid - how to defeat Legendary Pocket Monster

As Lugia returns to Legendary Raids, here's a look at the best Pocket Monsters to beat it.

Niantic previewed the new update in a recent blog post: "Good news, Trainers! We’ll soon begin rolling out support for account linking with Facebook.

"Along with a simpler sign-in process, linking Pokemon Go to your Facebook account gives you more options to log in and helps preserve your progress across devices."

"With this change, you will also be able to link your Trainer profile to your Facebook and Google accounts, and use any of those credentials to access Pokemon Go."

This means you can link your Trainer Club account to your Google and Facebook accounts, and sign in using whichever one you choose.

According to Niantic, this might prove useful for anybody whose Google account is linked to work or university.

"Account linking is especially useful for someone who has registered for Pokemon Go using a Google Account that they may not be able to access in the future, such as one associated with a work or university email address," the post continues.

"By linking their Facebook account, they can continue to make progress on their Pokedex, and even link a new Google account to their Trainer profile."
